Liverpool recovered well from going a goal down, responses from Rickie Lambert and Jordan Henderson putting them ahead, only for a late leveler to cost them two points.
Liverpool ratings below:
GK) Simon Mignolet – 3
At fault for first goal and didn’t move a muscle to prevent the second.
RB) Javi Manquillo – 6
Steady display from the Spaniard
LB) Glen Johnson – 4
Standard shocking display from the full-back.
CB) Kolo Toure – 4
Never looked comfortable.
CB) Martin Skrtel – 5
Slovakian struggled but still looked head and shoulders above his centre-back partner.
DM) Lucas Leiva – 6
Steady display though was a little off the pace
CM) Joe Allen – 6
Occasionally overrun but tigerish as always.
CM) Steven Gerrard – 6
Attempted to put his stamp on the game but failed.
AM) Jordan Henderson – 7
Committed display from the England man, netted Liverpool’s second and was always available for a quick counter.
AM) Raheem Sterling – 8
Strong showing, opposition struggled to cope with his pace and directness.
ST) Rickie Lambert – 6
Scored but was too one dimensional.
Subs:
Alberto Moreno – 5 – Brought on to shore things up on Liverpool’s left hand side, but struggled to make a difference.
